Children's Ministry Summer Pop-Up
Wednesday, June 14
Join Children’s Ministry staff with your family and kids to the first Summer Pop-Up on Wednesday, June 14, from 9:00 am - 11:30 am, at Crooked Creek Park in Indian Trail. Join us for time at the park and the splash pad as we kick-off summer together! This is a great time to bring friends for a time of fun! Have questions, contact Amy at awallace@christcovenant.org.
Serve the City
June 20-23
Christ Covenant Youth Ministry is excited to announce that over 50 of our middle school and high school students will be serving our community through Serve the City 2023! During the week of June 20th through June 23rd, our students will be partnering with local ministries such as Vive Charlotte, Project 658, Rainbow Express Ministries, and the Queen City Pregnancy Resource Center as well as assisting many of Christ Covenant Church’s senior adults with house projects. Pastor Eric Russ will also lead our students in evangelistic training and implementation in the afternoons.

Would you join us in prayer leading up to and during the week of Serve the City? Pray that our students and volunteers would be compelled and emboldened by the gospel to love God and love their neighbors by sharing Christ with those around them! Ask that God would use our students’ words and deeds to plant seeds in the hearts of those our students serve. Pray that God would use this time to develop deep friendships among the middle school and high school students involved in CCYM. And, most importantly, pray that God would be glorified in Charlotte.
'O Nights' - Christ Covenant Church Outreach
Tuesday, June 20
Everyone is invited to join us on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month for Christ Covenant Outreach Nights, called O Nights. Our next one is Tuesday, June 20, from 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm. One O Night per month will be outreach/evangelism in the community with people going into different sections of the community to share their faith. The other O Night each month will have some time of training to equip our people, but for those that are comfortable with evangelism and don’t need the training, they will still have the option of going out to do surveys/evangelism.

Our desires are to provide different spaces where we can learn more about our community while at the same time care for people, take steps of faith to engage others, and avail ourselves to opportunities to share the gospel. It also gives us the opportunity to serve together, pray for our community, and see God work in another way.

We will meet in the south lobby of the worship center. If you do not feel comfortable walking, we would love for you to participate by praying on our campus. Please bring your small group, family, etc. and join us! If you have any questions, contact Michelle at mgustavson@christcovenant.org.
Monthly Day of Prayer
Tuesday, June 27
All are invited to participate in the Monthly Day of Prayer on Tuesday, June 27. There are two ways you can participate. One is to come in-person for your prayer time to room 105 in the worship center anytime between 7:30 am - 7:00 pm. Prayer guides are provided for you in the prayer room. Another option is to pick a time slot and pray where you are, whether that’s at home or at work. The day is divided into 30-minute segments for individuals to sign up and pray for supported workers and for the needs of our congregation. You can select the time that best fits your schedule by clicking here. We also hope you will take time to submit your confidential prayer requests online by clicking here or by email at prayer@christcovenant.org.
Peach Cobbler Fellowship
Sunday evening, July 16 
All are invited to join a time of fellowship and peach cobbler after evening worship on Sunday, July 16. Don’t miss this family fun time to enjoy a sweet treat and fellowship with one another.
No Summer Sunday School
There will not be Sunday School June 4 through August 20. Sunday School will resume on August 27, 2023. This is a new rhythm for us as a church, which allows a rest for our teachers and volunteers, especially in the children’s area.
Volunteer with Children's Ministry
The Children’s Ministry would like to invite you to be a part of the team for the 2023-2024 school year. Please join us for a year of investing in our covenant children, serving the church and building relationships. Whether you would love to work with elementary kids, build blocks with toddlers, or snuggle with babies, we have a place for you! You will be blessed by your time in these classrooms…we promise! Email Abigail at acerrato@christcovenant.org to let her know you are interested in serving, and we will find your perfect fit for service!
Pickup Basketball Fellowship and Outreach
Men's Ministry is starting Pickup Basketball Fellowship and Outreach this spring. We are playing Saturday mornings from 8:00 am - 10:00 am in Christ Covenant's Aux Gym located in the A building (next to the playground). If you are interested in participating, please reach out to Robby Bell at robbybell30@gmail.com for more information.
Envision Capital Campaign
